My appologies to the administration for posting a nearly puposless Thread, but I must say something.<P>Lately there has been a great epidemic among the threads of this Forum. We are all discussing the future and final film in Peter Jackson's series. In specific, many threads have been created about the invasion of the Shire by Saruman, and it's lack of prescense in the film. In viewing these threads I have noticed an alarming (and horribly annoying) trend. It seems that through misinformed sources and the lack of attention to certain details, the title of Chapter 8 of Book VI has become known as "The Scourging of the Shire". While this seems to make much more sense than the true title: "The Scouring of the Shire", it is, in fact, an error. <P><BR>Iarwain
